Factors Influencing Elevator Design - Source MEEBS 7th Ed
Handling Capacity (HC) Figure of merti for an elevator system, indicating the maximum number
of passengers that can be handled in a given period, usually 5 min
Time Interval for Design max 5 10 Min Determined based on experience as good approximation of period during
which rush hour 'hits' the elevator.
Minimum Handling Capacity 13% Pct From Elevator practice - 5 min load
Elevator Carrying Capacity 3500 Lbs From Elevator practice - Actually try multiple sizes
Elevator Speed 500 fpm From Elevator practice - Actually try multiple speeds.
There are tables of good practice. 23.8 MEEBS.
Elevator car Avg Capacity 16 People From Tables - Meebs 23.4
Handling Capacity 182 People Min Handling capacity * Occupants
Round Trip 143 secs From Graph 23.17
Average Trip 76 secs From Graph
Car Carries in 5 minutes 33.6 People/5min Calculated
Number of Cars Needed 5 Cars Calculated
